The Six Shooter - Quiet City (#22)

Great show!

When it comes to OTR, Westerns are the best, imo. Gunsmoke will always be my #1, but I think The Six Shooter comes in second. I wish they'd done another season or two.

This episode was used in the TV series The Restless Gun, broadcast Feb 3/58 and featuring a knockout performance by veteran radio & TV western actor John Dehner.

With television looming, advertising bucks for radio were shrinking fast. So, even as good as this series was, Six Shooter never obtained a sponsor. After just one season, The Six Shooter was dropped. Thankfully though, we do have these episodes to enjoy, with pretty good audio quality.

Liggett & Myers wanted to sponsor the series- but Jimmy refused to be associated with a tobacco sponsor, and wouldn't budge {that's what Jack Johnstone said). No other advertisers were interested- and the program ended that June. L&M [Chesterfield] sponsored "GUNSMOKE" on CBS, instead (beginning that July). With the exception of the NBC Symphony Orchestra (at 6:30pm(et), for Socony-Mobil), NONE of the Sunday night programs on NBC that season had sponsors.....that's why their schedule kept changing that season. "THE SIX SHOOTER" moved to Thursdays in April......

Felt like I was right beside the Six shooter!! Love Jimmy Stewart!

Our loss. This was better than most of the early TV shows-my hind sight opinion. 🤔

The irony is this recent report : "According to recent Nielsen data, based on audience reach, radio is currently considered "bigger" than television, meaning more people listen to radio than watch television, especially among the 18-49 demographic, with radio having a larger weekly reach and average audience compared to TV"
